Musk’s baby, xAI, which is 10 months old, is getting close to a whooping $6 billion in funding. Elon’s tech family also includes the social network X, formerly known as Twitter, which is already a shareholder. At first, the deal was only expected to raise $3 billion, but as more people wanted to participate, the price increased. Investors include Musk’s best friends from Future Ventures and Sequoia Capital, as well as a few other friends who might also be attending this AI party.
